エグいよ、夏（Summer is Brutal）

群馬だから、って事はないんだけど、6月までが過ごしやすい今年だったから、37℃は堪えますね。

でも月初以来の写イクリング行ってきました🚵

北に向かって少しでも涼んでくるか？いやいや赤城山頂ならいざ知らず、海抜300mくらいでは下界と大差ないでしょ、むしろそこまでの登りで体火照っちゃうよ、と言うことで平地を選びましたが…暑かった、脚攣りかけるし。

第一目的地、道の駅玉村宿からのららん藤岡の道の駅はしごで本日走行距離40kmは今日の気温下では少々バテました。

これから夏、どのようにやり過ごしますかね〜

於菊稲荷神社。ここの鳥居は何本あるのでしょうか。一説には今も願いがかなうと奉納されるとか。

It’s not just because I’m in Gunma, but since this year was so pleasant up until June, 37°C really takes it out of you.

Even so, I went out for my first photo-ride since the beginning of the month! 🚵

I thought about heading north to find some cooler air, but then I realized—unless I went all the way to the top of Mt. Akagi, being just 300 meters above sea level wouldn't be much different from the lowlands. In fact, the climb up there would probably just make me overheat. So, I chose a flat route instead... but man, it was hot. My legs almost cramped up.

For my destinations, I did a "Michi-no-Eki" roadside station hop, starting at Tamamura-juku and heading over to Lalan Fujioka. Covering 40 km today left me pretty wiped out in this heat.

Summer is just getting started—how am I going to survive the rest of it?

Okiku-Inari Shrine. I wonder how many torii gates are here. Word has it that people still dedicate them today when their wishes come true.
